A nice beach town which has most conveniences but is not too big. We had visited in 1988 so the development since then was breathtaking. We visited during the off-season (October) so it was very rainy but had clear periods each day. The advantage to visiting this time of year is hotel prices are generally lower, but many businesses are closed so for example a restaurant you wanted to visit may not be open and I had more difficulty renting a good surfboard than I thought I would. As mentioned before, the rain can be a problem during the off-season but I understand the period from December to April is mostly rain free. I would imagine the town is much more crowded in season which could affect the experience.

We loved the location we stayed in - it was perfect for the two of us.
Besides buying fruit from the road vendors, and having local street food whenever spotted in La Garza, we ate at Rosi's Soda Tica in Nosara, and Soda la Peria in Samara.
Getting around Garza was pleasant as everything is walking distance.
If you want tranquility, low maintenance and somewhat self-sustainability, Playa Garaza may be the place for you.

San Juanillo is not a surf destination and thus not very touristic. It does have a small but well stocked supermarket and a couple of decent restaurants. We ate frequently at "Bar el Jardin" and "Soda Brisas del Mar", where service and food was always very enjoyable.
The two white sand beaches are beautiful and the sunsets were fantastic every single time.

Playa Azul is a hidden gem of a resort.
Playa Azul is a hidden gem of a resort. I booked it at the last minute as I had a few more days to stay in Costa Rica. We came from the bustling town of Tamarindo via the coastal route (which was mostly small unmaintained dirt roads) through Playa Avellanas where we stopped at the famous Lola’s for lunch.
Playa Azul is just the perfect place to relax and unwind. The location is secluded and feels exclusive. The rooms are incredible and you are steps from the beach. If you book the ocean view rooms you can watch and listen to the waves from the hammock on your balcony. There are geckos and iguanas all over the property.
Despite the remote location, there are two restaurants on site that serve decent food throughout the day. The staff were all wonderful and booked several excursions for us which were highlights of our trip.
The hotel is 10-15 minutes from San Juanillo and Marbella. San Juanillo is a tiny village but it boasts one of the most incredible beaches I’ve ever visited. Also, the “food truck” in town served some of the best patacones, burritos, and empanadas ever. Restaurant Cocobolo across the street also had great food and beers, plus an incredible view of the ocean.
If you head the other way toward Marbella, Soda Victoria is worth checking out too.
Highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Great town great beach.
Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place.
Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

Nosara is apparently one of the most expensive places in Central America, more expensive than the rest of Costa Rica, and the vibe is a bit weird - lots of wealthy travelers, $9 drip coffee, middle-aged white people mostly and lots of second-home mansions. We went to yoga at a resort that was $600/night and that seemed like no big deal for most of the American clients. However once we got to know the locals, learned to eat at local "sodas" instead, and realized the beach break is fantastic for surfing and protected so there's no beach vendors or beach bars, we had a great time. It's not a backpackers town, but it is very safe.

Garza is a very quiet beach that serves as the launching point for most fishing trips in the area. It was fascinating to watch the small tenders moving people back and forth to the fishing boats and catamarans. There are two stores off the highway and several restaurants ranging from a high end, overpriced place to several soda ticas serving typical Costa Rican food of rice, black beans, salad and protein (fish, chicken or beef).

If you're looking for an 'out of the way' place to stay and relax, you can't do better than this place. The pool is fabulous and has a swim up bar, and both restaurants had excellent food. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, and the staff was absolutely fabulous, even calling us by our first names by the second day. The room was very comfortable, the bed was great, the shower was superb (good water pressure) and the A/C worked like a charm on those humid, overcast days.

Samara is a very cool, beachy surf village. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. There are several gorgeous beaches in very close proximity. My favs were Samara and Carillo. Roots in an incredible bakery and there are many yummy restaurants to dine at. We loved the Olas Beach Baron, Ahora (Italian), Gusto and the stone-baked pizza venue close to the beach!

Choose accomodation carefully as the area is quite large and spread out. Not as devloped as other places along the coast.
Beaches are amazing and quieter than Tarmarindo or Samara beaches. Bring ypur own. Loungers and beach umbrellas, as limited availability. Also not too many places serving refreshments So bring your own.

The Living Hotel is an incredible little gem in Nosara. We stayed for five nights as a family with our four and six year old children and had a wonderful stay. The pool was an awesome addition to come back to after our long days at the stunning beach or adventuring. We also made good use of the kitchen, which was a nice break from the very pricey restaurants in Nosara. Highly recommended, would stay again.
Absolutely stunning property! Gorgeous staff, from the owners to the bar manager (Andreas - thank you for being fab) and great location with easy access to beautiful and chilled out Nosara, we will be back!

The layout and set up of the hotel is really beautiful, we did not have one of the prime rooms because we booked at the last minute so I can’t really rate the hotel on that level. But the staff was really nice and it’s clean and really beautiful. The only downside is there’s really no restaurant. They have a limited menu and only serving dinner. But the breakfast is included, and they were really sweet to accommodate for it to go. But as far as a room for the money in Nosara, I think it’s really good.

We absolutley loved our time at Iluminar....the location was fantastic and the suite a really lovely place to be. Strolling out from the garden gate down to the beach was a pleasure. Use of the pool over the road was a treat and breakfast at the neaby cafe delicious.
Nosara had a great vibe and we would love to go back and stay at Iluminar.

Loved the pool area and hammocks. outstanding breakfasts, direct access to 2 beaches and walking to Restaurant La Luna perfect. Didnt need transport as could walk along the beach to restaurants, bank, supermarket. Nosara lovely and rustic. The kitchen made cerviche and cooked our tuna from the fish we caught on our fishing charter.

the food at the restaurant was some of the best that we had in Nosara. Also the best lemonade and margaritas! I loved that it didn't feel busy even though the hotel was full. There was always a spot by the pool and in the restaurant. Having surf board storage was very helpful. The staff was very friendly and helpful, particularly in booking restaurant reservations and transportation when needed.
